Hello lovely readers!

I’m going to be honest - I’ve stopped campaigning.  I’ve really enjoyed networking and have left my own project by the wayside a little, but that’s okay!  This entire process has been worth it. 

I would love to share more of my book with everyone who has preordered so do DM me of you’d like more - I’d be happy to send it to you.

I’m working on my next project, a piece of Hard Sci Fi.  Follow my blog if you fancy and I’ll regale you with tales of how that is going.

Thank you again!  I’m still preordering up a storm so do send me a message if you want me to check out your work!

The Animal in Man is done. I can hardly believe it. No one doubted that this day would ever actually arrive more than me, I assure you. After months of what I called Radio Silence, I’m back - fingers trembling - to send out this reader update.

So what happens now? Well, I’ve sent all 350+ pages to Inkshares just an hour ago, and from there they’ll put together my production timeline and all the other wonderful things they provide. I’ll collaborate with them to nail down some ideas for the final cover design. In the months that follow there will be edits… load upon load of edits. The more meticulous work, you see, is really just starting.

I’ve never finished a project this massive in all my life, and yet, it’s not entirely finished. Still, I can’t contain my excitement. This is a turning point for me, and I couldn’t have done it without all the follows, all the interest (all the pre-orders!) for The Animal in Man. I just wanted to thank you all for your continued support. You’ll be hearing from me on the reg from now on!
